A Midwest boy searching for the music that once was and that could be once again,Bradley Wikis an outspoken realist and earnest romantic who sings of everyday men and women stumbling through life together. Today, Wik and his band The Charlatans share a brand new track from their upcoming album, In My Youth, I'm Getting Old..." entitled "Let's Go Out Tonight."

An unpretentious heartland roots rocker that would make Mellencamp or Westerberg proud, "Let's Go Out Tonight," with its undeniably infectious melody and sweet harmonies, tells the real, relatable story of two people simply trying to figure things out. Wik gives some insight into the tune which TDC is proud to premiere below,

"This song really set the tone for the whole album. “Lookin' at Lucky” was the first song written for the album, but I knew that was a context- specific story I wanted to tell. “Let’s Go Out Tonight” was the compass by which I wrote the bulk of the album. From a musical standpoint, it’s about as straight- forward a Rock N’ Roll song as you can get, but the story is about the struggle of two people trying to figure out what the hell went wrong with their relationship and what they should do, culminating in a decision to just say “fuck it” and go out and have a fun night, is really at the heart of this album."

This is what this current generation lacks. Young or old from the digital releases and the dominate rise of streaming platforms, from giants like Spotify and iTunes. People tend to forget the pleasures of owning a physical copy of the artist's work. Gone are the days where the music shops were a thing and not to mention it was the place to be. In the days when music was a source of life that it was so hard to ignore, it reaches a point where you'll be seeing never ending long lines in music stores, as kids and adults alike who save up all their hard earn money for the big release. Vinyls were a key part of listening that gave you the roller coaster experience and allow you to dive deep into the world of the artist's world that you've been dreaming.
